Inside the box, the mat pieces were wrapped in plastic film. This type of packaging ensured that the product was optimally protected from external influences and was transported hygienically. Product protection was therefore fully guaranteed and the floor protection mat was delivered in perfect condition .
The packaging is partially recyclable. However, the plastic film cannot be recycled . Nevertheless, the presentation of the product makes a very good impression.

To use the Body & Mind® floor protection mat, the individual mat parts must be joined together to form an area of up to 1.51 m² . The total area can be extended as required with additional sets from the manufacturer. The edge pieces form a clean finish and the individual mat parts merge seamlessly into one another. A real all-rounder , the product can be used as a floor covering in various rooms and environments, e.g. in fitness or gym rooms, under sports equipment, in playrooms, at the workplace, in garages or basements. The environmentally friendly and pollutant-free EVA foam has sound and shock-absorbing properties and therefore reduces noise. The heat-insulating effect is particularly suitable for cooler rooms. In addition, the floor protection mat is water and dirt repellent and can be easily cleaned with water. The non-slip surface ensures safe use and prevents accidents.
Customers can currently choose between the colors black and grey. Different sizes are not required due to the individual expandability, but different thicknesses are conceivable.

Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also examine consumer ratings and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Very good | 100 points |
| Rating cut | 4.3 out of 5.0 on Amazon | 65 points |
| Total | 83 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers rated the product with an average of 4.3 stars. One criticism is that too many edge pieces are included, the thickness is too thin and the online product description can be misleading. Other reviewers, however, praise the quality and strength of the mat and recommend the product. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the thickness of the mats is sufficient as floor protection. Some of the reviews seem to refer to a previous version of the floor protection mat.
Prices of up to €50 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products, on the other hand, are available for as little as €16. The Body & Mind® floor protection mat is therefore in the lower price segment with a current price of €24.95. The price-performance ratio is therefore very good.
